Dyson Sphere with slits is a great way to communicate with another solar system!

Question of the Week: Should we limit free speech on Facebook and Twitter?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

This podcast episode was edited by the mighty Kenny Carlsen. Thanks Kenny!

The song on the podcast is "So far, I have not found the science" by the truly awesome band Soul Coughing. I wish that they still existed as a band and had a web page! But, the lead singer was Mike Doughty, who still tours (he will be in Chicago on November 18th, 2017). Dave and I even went and saw him together once! I saw Soul Coughing in Boulder, CO when I lived there in 1996.

Welcome to "Season 2" of the X and Why podcast. Dave and I (Aaron) are back, and are trying to do things a bit differently. We are trying a bit more of a fixed format, with a bit of X and a bit of Why, but are not going to interview as many people. Sorry if you really liked that part! We also hired an editor, which is a huge help (Thanks Kenny!!!). Maybe, just maybe, we will be able to maintain a real schedule and get episodes out every other week.
